Oooohhh... I love a good mystery.

Ready to play today's Brain Bender?

--------------------

The Great Detective was at a lakeside resort. there was a storage tank not far up the hill behind the lake. A small girl fell in. The only rope around was a foot too short. The Great Detective solved the problem instantly - and after a few minutes was able to rescue the girl. How?

------------------

And where were this girl's parents while she was falling into the tank?? Huh? And Lassie - Lassie would have been able to help! She got Timmy out of the well after all....

Anyway, like always the answer will be found later in the comments. See you then!

Update: The lovely Sticks From Chaos to Serendipity is the official Smartypants today. Whoohoo!
